Abstract/Summary

Integrated geophysical survey including magnetometer and resistance survey was undertaken by Northamptonshire Archaeology over the site of the former Blatherwycke Hall, demolished in 1948. The survey revealed the plan of the south front of the house, the east quadrant and pavilion and a large area of demolition rubble spread. In the trial trench evaluation remains of limestone wall foundations, cellars and floors relating to the former demolished hall and a former tarmac road were revealed along the northern edge of the evaluation. No evidence for the layout of the former south facing garden or medieval remains were discovered to the south of the house.
